Celebrity Eyes:
Makeup artists have many tricks up their sleeves to make celebrities’ eyes pop! They first put an eye shadow primer or some foundation on
the eyelids, so that the eye shadow has something to hold onto. For eye shadow colors, they’ll select three shades which are variations on
the same color (i.e. light green, medium green, and dark green), or in the same neutral color family (i.e. beige, brown, and dark brown).
They will put the lightest color on the brow bone, the medium color on the lid, and the darkest color in the crease. This will emphasize the
shape of the eyes and make them stand out!
Other tricks for glammed-up, red carpet eyes include lining the lower inner rim of the eyes with a white pencil to make them appear bigger
and applying shimmery clear lip gloss to the top eyelids to make eyes sparkle. Celebrity makeup artists also apply shimmer powder under
the brow bone to draw more attention to the eye area and they always smudge eyeliner with a Q-tip to make it look less severe or smokier.
To create the cat-eye effect, celebrity makeup artists use dark brown or black eyeliner to exaggerate the end of the eye so it turns up slightly.
If you decide to go this route, remember that smudging is the key to perfecting this look!
Celebrity Eyelashes:
Celebrity makeup artists also have many secrets for eyelashes! They always curl eyelashes first to maximize length and curl. They then
dust them with powder which makes the eyelashes look much thicker after the mascara is applied! Celebrity makeup artists will often use
two coats of mascara, the first will be a lengthening or separating formula, and the second, a thickening formula, to max out eyelash
potential! Mascara clumps are combed out between coats.
For special occasions celebrities may use false eyelashes (their secret is dark eyelash glue) or may have eyelash extensions applied
which are semi-permanent variations.
Celebrity Eyebrows:
Celebrity makeup artists know that enhancing the shape of the eyebrows is one of the most dramatic ways to improve a celebrity’s
appearance. Celebrity makeup artists use Treezerman brand tweezers most often to shape eyebrows. They tweeze the hairs under the
arch of the eyebrow to further emphasize it and pluck away any strays. Eyebrows are filled in with the feathery strokes of an eyebrow pencil
in either "blonde "or "taupe" for blondes, "auburn" for redheads, and light brown or medium brown for brunettes. Only black-haired gals
should fill in their eyebrows with a "dark brown" eyebrow pencil" and nobody should use a black eyebrow pencil as it looks too severe. A
secret weapon of celebrity makeup artists is brow sealant, which keeps this brow look in shape all day.

application secrets to get your most flattering
eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, concealer,

Celebrity Concealer:
Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics is favored by many celebrity makeup
artists. Concealer is usually applied with an eye shadow brush. It is applied in thin
layers which are "built up" until the blemish is covered. Concealer typically is applied
before foundation. For really dark blemishes, makeup artists often use a deeper
color concealer first which tones the blemish down under foundation.
Celebrity Foundation:
Laura Mercier Foundation is very popular with celebrities. Foundation is usually
applied by celebrity makeup artists with a sponge for the most natural looking
coverage. Celebrity makeup artists use a foundation primer which is worn between
your moisturizer and your foundation. This product refines the skin and helps
foundation stay in place all day. If you can’t spring just yet for celebrity products, try
Revlon’s Color Stay Foundation with Soft-flex, which stays in place all day and
comes in an extensive variety of shades.
Celebrity Powder:
Celebrity makeup artists almost always use loose powder in a translucent or skin
matching shade. They will apply it with a puff and then dust it away with a big brush,
or will apply it with the big brush, being sure to shake off any excess first. Then the
celebrity will carry around a pressed powder or blotting papers in her evening bag
for touch ups. Some celebrities skip powder all together for their dry skinned clients.
Powder is great for keeping foundation in place for the longest period of time,
however.

Celebrity Blush:
Nars and Stila blushes are very popular with celebrity makeup artists. While these are powder blushes, there are other makeup artists
who prefer gel blush because of the dewy, healthy glow it imparts. Blush is never applied with anything but a big, fluffy brush. It is applied
on the apples of the cheeks in circles, or is swept from the apples to the hair line. Shimmery blushes like Nars blush in Torrid can make
the cheeks appear to be glowing, according to celebrity fans.
